Hughes Danbury Optical Systems (HDOS) has built and successfully tested an Engineering Model (EM) Star Tracker for the Attitude Determination System (ADS) of the Space Station Freedom. This work was accomplished under a contract from Honeywell's Space Systems Group at Clearwater, Florida. The EM has empirically demonstrated that the design is consistent with functional and performance features of the flight model, including the ability to acquire and track up to four stars in the debris rich environment surrounding the Space Station. Included is a discussion of the modular design of the tracker which lends itself to thorough subassembly testing. Finally the integrated testing and test results are presented.
